Birds over beers: A weekly feature breaking down Eagles previous game

(Every week this season, Rich Hofmann will get together with a colleague from the Daily News, perhaps over a beverage, and talk about what's going on with the Eagles. This week, it's columnist David Murphy attempting to keep the populace from going off the deep end.)

RICH: So, do you kick the field goal?

Dave: Yeah, I think so. You have to try to go ahead there.

Rich: I looked it up - teams trying to hold a lead like that at the end of games give up a score about 30 percent of the time.
